My DEAR HEARERS—SO much has already been said, written, prcacl.ed and sung in reference to the outside of woman, that it were almost useless for me to reiterate, expatiate, substantiate, prevaricate, or predicate, on the subject Still, it is my province to dive into those waters to which the spirit leads me, and thence bring up such precious pearls as they may, perchance, afford. Then, to commence. Without endorsing the ultra opinions of some, that the tree of vice'takes root in the heart of man alone, and the (lowers of virtue abound with woman exclusively, will say, that she is the loveliest portion of the HOMO race and with her virtue is a more conspicuous ornament than with her worshipper and protector—man. Setting aside this particular, jdistinction, I ask, where is there a being of on an flw nucciilmn crondpr who stands Upright

£STWe call attention to the following letter from Hon. DANIEL MACE, published in the Washington Union of the 1st. It exposes an alarming extravagance: ,--Wc are glad to notice the efforts of this gentleman. They are directed in the proper channel and we hope he may be successful in the overthrow of this stupendous "mail arrangement." The country should pay attention to this matter. It affords an answer to the question, "Where does the money go."— The inland mail service is solemnly charg,ed with vast expenditures, while small sums like this are permitted to slip out of

Our rates of postage within the

limits of the states, must be raised to make 1 I up the enormous deficiency, and yet these outrages upon the treasury are perpetrated with impunity, and by the sanction of Congress.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, December 31, 1853.

To the Editor of the Union: I offered the following resolution in the House to-day:

Resolved, That the Committee of Ways and-Means be, and the same is hereby, instructed to inquire into the expediency of re-reporting no greater allowance to the Collins line of steamers, for carrying the mail from New York to Liverpool, than was paid prior to the last Congress—that is, the sum of $236,500 per annum—in lieu of the appropriation made last Congress, that is, the sum of §858,000 per annum. The first-named sum—that is, the sum of S23Q,500—being S3,000 per trip more than is paid by the British government to the Cunard line of steamers for similar services the last named sum—to wit, the sum of 6858,000—being Si7,000 per trip more than is paid said Cunard line also, report the propriety of terminating the mail arrangement with the Collins steamers by notice, as contemplated by law.

IMPORTANT TO AUTHORS. THE DECISION OF JUDGE GRIER OF PENNSYLVANIA AGAINST MRS. STOWE.

Suit was recently brought in the name of Mrs. STOWE, against a person who had pirated her "book," by publishing, in Philadelphia, a German translation thereof.

Judge GRIER has pronounced a decision against the plaintiff, with costs, die., on the ground that the Copyright Law only protects the identical production of an author, and does not shield him against abridgements, translations, summaries, epitomes, elegant extracts, or any other alterations of the form of his work!

According to this judgment, the products of any man's or any woman's brains may be freely seized upon and appropriated by any unscrupulous persons, provided only they are treated, according to the witticism of SHERIDAN, as gypsies treat stolen children, namely "disfigured so as to pass for their own!"

In our country this decision seems particularly unjust. We have a large and increasing population of readers from foreign countries, who may be naturally supposed to have a peculiar avidity for knowing what is contained in the most popular productions of our native literature. To deprive an author of the profits accruing from the circulation of his works among his class, and to permit any sharp publisher, who can afford to employ a redacteur, to coin money for himself out of the midnighf-toil, the feverish brain, and the silent and uncomplaining cares of another and a better in every respcct, is certainly screwing legal right (if indeed such there be in the case) up to decided xcrong.

IMPRESSIONS AT FIRST SIGHT.—This subject being brought up at the supper table, was getting "talked over," when the lady who presided "o'er the cups and tea," said "she always formed an idea of a person at first sight and that idea she found was generally a correct one." "Mamma" said her youngest son, in a shrill voice that attracted the attention of all present. "Well, my dear, what do you want?" "I want to know," said young America, "what you thought when you first saw me?"

There was no answer to this query but we learn that a general twitter prevailed, and that "Charlie" was taken into the kitchen immediately by the servant.—Forest City Dem.

IT FOLLOWED HIM.—When the American flag was unfurled from its staff in Tampico, an aged Spaniard was heard inveighing with luxubrious earnestness, against the pertinacity with which the flag had pursued his fortunes. "I was de Spanish Consul in de Louisiane, when dat flag he was raise, and I go to Pensacola, but soon dat flao- was over me dare. I live den in the Texas, but dat flag follow me dare. Says I, I go where dat flag never come. I come to Tampico, but here is dat flag again. I believe if I go to de devil dat same flag will follow me dare.".

THE COCK-SPUR REPUBLIC. We are without anything further from the Republic of Lower California. Our suspense has become almost excruciating.— We want to know all about those six brave fellows wlio wont out foraging.for. fuel, and after taking a wood pile by storm, returned to their vessel "without, losing a man." Our anxiety is huge also to hear something more about Colonel President Walker and the thirty lion-hearted fellows who landed with him, and fought the dingy Mexicans for an hour and a half, killing six or seven and wounding more, but receiving 110 wound themselves 'except from the Cactus.' We should like especially to know in what part of their bodies they were wounded by the cactus, and what they did about it afterwards whether in front or in the rear, or while standing or squatting down.

The New-York 'Herald,'we judge, is the organ of the New Republic, mayhap it will bring us news by the next mail thai will relieve our anxieties.—Lou. Cour.

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.—What a noble sentiment is that of John Adams, which he conveyed to his wife, when public duties for a time, separated him from his family.— "The education of our children is never out of mind. Train them to virtue habituate them to industry, activity and spirit. Make them consider every vice as shameful and unmanlv. Fire them with ambition to be useful. Make them disdain to be destitute of any useful knowledge."

What a valuable lesson is this, comming as it does, from a man who had rcached the highest summit of human greatness. Every parent should treasure it up, and keep it constantly in mind.

If all of us who are parents, would make this sentiment true, so far as we are concerned, what a lovely face would society present. "The education of my children is never out of my mind."

"THAT'S THE ALLEGORY."—A miser being dead and fairly interred, came to the banks of the river Styx, desiring to be ferried over along with the other ghosts. Charon demanded his fare, and was surprised to see the miser, rather than pay it, throw himself into the river and swim over to the other side, notwithstanding all the clamor and opposition that could be made to him.

All Tartarus was in an uproar and each of the judges was meditating some punishment suitable to a crime of such dangerous consequences to the infernal revenges. "Shall he be chained to the rock along with Prometheus? or tremble below the precipice in company with the Danaides? or assist Sispus in rolling his stone?" "No," said Minos, "none of these we must invent some severer punishment.— Let him be sent back to the earth, to see the use his heirs are making of his riches."

FOOT ROT.—A correspondent of the Massachusetts Plowman gives the following cure for the foot rot in cattle'.

Cleanse the sore thoroughly with castile soap suds and sprinkle in a small quantity of blue vitriol finely pulverized. I have a cow that was troubled with the foot disease summer before last, several months. I tried several things to cure her but to no effect, till a friend told me to try the blue vitriol—two applications entirely cured her. Cases taken in season seldom need more than one application.

MANILLA WOMEN.

In the evening, Spaniards, English and French, go to the promenades to ogle the beautiful and facile half-bred women, who?e transparent robes reveal their figure. That which distinguishes the female half-breeds (Spaaft^ Tagals of Chinese-Tagals) is a intelligent and expressive physiogheir hair, drawn back from the sustained by long golden pins, is of marvellous luxuriance. They wear upon the hcad-a handkerchief, transparent like a veil, made of the pine fibre, finer tlfan our finest cambric: the neck is ornamentefwfctv a [string of large coral beads, fastened by a gold medallion. A transparent ehembette, of the same stuff as the head «lress, descends as far as the waist, covering, but not concealed, a bo-om that has never been imprisoned in stays. Below, and two or three inches from the edge of her chemisette, is attached a variously-colored petticoat of very bright hues. Over this garment a large and costly silk sash closely encircles the figure, and shows its outline from the waist to the knee. The small and white feet, always naked, are thrust into embroidered slippers, which cover but the extremities. Nothing can be more charming, coquettish, and fascinating than this costume which excites, in the highest degree, the admiration of strangers.

SST The N. Y. Tribune professes to have private advices from St. Petersburg by the Pacific, which throws some light 011 the Turkish question. The Czar believed from the first that by bullying Turkey, he could make her submit to his demands.— The declaration of war by the Sultan took every one in St. Petersburg by surprise.— The Emperor never wished for war, and does not now want it, but he will never submit to be dictated to by France and England. The excitement throughout the Russian Empire is very great, and the demand for a war of extermination against the Turks almost universal. If no pacification is made during the winter, it has been decided in the Imperial Consul to march an army of 500,000 men direct to Constantinople, if possible. Other corps of 150,000 men are to be stationed between the theatre of war and Poland. The Tribune thinks that unless peace is speedily made, all Europe will be engaged in a terrible and bloody war by spring.

BE CAREFUL TO WHOM YOU TALK.—Two young ladies were oncc singing a duet in a concert room. A stranger, who had heard better performances, turned to his neighbor, saying: "Does not the lady in while sing wretchedly?" "Excuse me, sir," replied he, "I hardly feel at liberty to express my sentiments, being not impartial to the case it is my sister."

"I beg your pardon, sir," answered the stranger in much confusion, "I meant the lady in blue."

THE MILKY WAY IN LANCASHIRE.—Many of the farmers about Preston are giving their cows apples, in consequence of that fruit being more plentiful, and so much' cheaper, than potatoes. We wonder wheth-1 er this difference of diet produces any difference in the milking and whether a cow, so fed, instead of yielding so many pints of milk, gives now so many bottles of cider or whether it was a combination of both— a sort of milk-cider? In the cause of temperance, we pause for a reply.

DREAMS.—Whena man dreams of fishing, it is a sign that some scaly fellow is quietly nibling away his good character.

To dream of being in company with a chimney sweep, denotes black looks from rising friends.

For a young woman to dream of blowing a candle out signifies that she will be likely to take to snuff.

For a young man to dream that he is asleep in church, is a sum that he is not waking in "his good

1IOW MUCH DID HE LEAVE! This question is asked concerning the property of every rich man that dies, and is answered very happily by Cloots, who was executor upon the estate of the lato Mr. Snodgrass, of this ilk. Ilis neighbor Mr. Nailrod, was an exceedingly inquisit* ivc man, and it was his pride that he knew as much almost, of the affairs of the peoply of his neighborhood, as they did themselves. But Mr. Snodgrass had never been communicative, all that he could glean of his circumstances was from the guesses and speculations of outsiders. The day afteT his neighbor had been put into the earth, Nailrod visited Cloots, and with an expecting face began to question him. Says he, "Cloots, if it is not improper—I would not wish to ask the question if it is the least improper, nor expect you to answer it, will you tell me how much friend Snodgrass left?" "Certainly," said Cloots "don't see the least impropriety in your asking, and am perfectly willing to answer it. IIo left every—cent he was worth in the world, and didn't take a copper with him."—Nailrod felt as small as .1 pump tack, and went out.

It is no use for a male or female trying to go through the world in any sort of shape unless you are virtuous. We never knew a strictly virtuous man or woman that hadn't plenty to eat, good garments to wear, a clear conscience, a seat near tht stove at the conference meeting, a chancO to save humanity, and did'nt finally hitch into the best corduroy or calico in the mar-:. ket. Virtue and ultimate happiness go together as naturally as old bachelors, but-: tonless shirts, cold ribs, cheerlcss sheets, and keen jokes from all the pretty girls in town.

They must have had rather an exciting time "out west" the other day. A penny-a-liner in speaking of it, says the principal\ combatant "seized a double-barreled gumgum—pulled its hieroglyphic, and with onu desperate effort, scattered his brains against the capult." Graphic i^ii't it.

Thou loosest the knots of stern thought, and minglest together all images of jov and grief! Unhindered, the circle of internal harmonies, llows on, and wrapped in a pleasing frenzy we sink down and cease to be."

A SAD CALAMITY.—While a party of young ladies and gentlemen were amusing themselves upon the ice on Spy Pond, West Cambridge, on Tuesday evening, the ice suddenly gave way and five of them were precipitated into the water. Four of the party were rescued, but one, Miss Persis Peck, after holding on to the ice till her strength failed, told her friends she could hold on no longer, bade them an affectionate farewell, and sunk to rise no more.— She was about sixteen years of age, possessed of great amiability of character, and was universally beloved.— Springfield Republican.

THE POET BURNS.—Chambers, in his lifo of this poet says:—"It is a remarkable fact that the mass of the poetry which has given this extraordinary man his principal fame, burst from him in a comparatively small space of time—certainly not exceeding fifteen months. It began to llow on a sudden, and it ran in one impetuous, brilliant stream, till it secined to have become, comparatively speaking, exhausted and silent.

THE YEAR or SABBATHS.—The year 1C54 will be one of Sabbaths, and we hope that lhu genial and holy spirit belonging to the day, mav, like the gentle dews of heaven, that fall alike on the rose and the night-shade, rest on all other days of the coming year.

The year 1854 will begin and end on the Sabbath. Five months of it will each contain five, and the year will number fiftythree Sundays. The like of that will not occur again for twenty-eight years.

0^/- Rev. John Pierpont has written a new poem entitled "The Golden Calf." It is a satirical production, overhauling railroad directors, steamboat owners, California gold hunters' ".-porters" of heavy fob chains, massive rings, faultless imperials, goatees, young men with more gold than brains, proud mammas anxious to marry their daughters to gentlemen of "means," rich and heartless Shylocks, &c.
